Suggested Genmoji

What is Genmoji?

Apple wants users to look again at their use of generative Genmoji in iOS 27, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
Genmoji is an Apple Intelligence feature that lets you use AI to generate all‑new emoji characters based on text input. All Genmoji generation happens directly on‑device, but the feature has had a rocky run.

Past issues

Power On newsletter reports that the generated images often looked nothing like Apple’s polished marketing examples, and the underlying models were demanding enough to heat up iPhones and drain their batteries.

Recent tweaks and the new “Suggested Genmoji”

Apple has apparently made some tweaks so that this no longer happens, while also adding a new supplementary feature.

Suggested Genmoji will reportedly offer you custom emoji ideas automatically based on your media and text history, rather than you having to think them up yourself. The feature is said to be optional in the next iPhone and iPad software update.

“Suggested Genmoji are created from your photos and your commonly typed phrases.” – Mark Gurman, noting a new toggle in the Keyboard settings of iOS 27.
